On Aug. 29 shortly after 7 p.m., police were called to GoodLife Fitness on Sin- clair Avenue for a report of a stolen purse. "The victim had re- turned from a workout and discovered her lock had been cut off a locker at the gym and a purse had been stolen from the locker," said Halton police media relations officer Const. Ryan Anderson. The next day, police say another woman attended the same gym around 5:30 p.m. and secured her belongings in a locker with a lock. When she returned to the change room area, she discovered that her lock had been re- moved and her wallet was missing. In both cases, An- derson said that "no ar- rests have been made and there is no suspect de- scription to provide." "Police are investigat- ing all possibilities, in- cluding the possibility the two occurrences are relat- ed," he noted. In cases such as this where no video sur- veillance footage is avail- able, Anderson said inves- tigators look to hear from witnesses. Anyone with informa- tion about the thefts is asked to contact the Hal- ton police non-emergency line at 905-825-4747, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-4747 or www.halton- crimestoppers.ca. CRIME POLICE LOOKING FOR WITNESSES IN THEFTS AT GYM MELANIE HENNESSEY mhennessey@ metroland.com Halton Hills firefighters battled a fully-involved house fire on Forsyth Cres- cent this week. On Sept. 10, the local de- partment responded to the home near Eighth Line, north of 10 Sideroad short- ly after 3 p.m. - and found the home and garage on fire, with smoke and flames visible upon entry. Everyone in the home got out safely. Initial reports indicate that the fire started in the garage and spread from there into the attic and through the roof, which collapsed during the blaze. As smoke was still visi- ble at the scene, the com- munity was already rally- ing to help the home- owners, with local resi- dents using social media to make plans for donations to cover the family's imme- diate needs.
